Baligha Series - Idea 13: Meaningful Gifts

One family gifted their daughter 9 gifts, one for each year. She started opening one a day each day, leading up to her actual birthday – this made the excitement truly stretch out!

The gifts given from each member of the family, as well as general gifts around buloogh:

A father-daughter necklace/keychain from the dad

A mother-daughter journal from the mum

A personalised cushion from the brother

A shela hanger

A pin cushion

A QFatima Buloogh journal

A prayer pack, with a musalla, dua book, mohr/tasbih, perfume, prayer book (to write down kazas, etc), travel toilet bottle and a travel musalla (Another idea here is to gift them a Risalah of their Mujtahid!)

The women that were invited to mark this special moment in the girl’s life were encouraged to give a special sort of gift – something of theirs that was meaningful and significant to them that they were passing on to her, such as a piece of jewellery from when they were younger, a poem that touched them, a book that they loved, a journal to write her thoughts in, a special photograph, etc.
